I along with my friends took a tour company to visit this place along with other sites. It's amazingly beautiful. I suggest go with a guide as there are several facts and nuances to appreciate. I paid 10 USD as entrance fee and got receipt. Better to carry 10 USD note as change can be an issue. March it was hot but bearable, better to go in winter.

The collection of the museum could, as noted by other viewers, be better lit and labelled, but it is certainly impressive, and spans prehistory to Christianity. There are a select few specialist objects which will really intrigue those deeply interested in ancient Egypt and Nubia, such as the Uronarti Stela of Senwosret III of Egypt. The temples (Kumna, Semna and Buhen) outside are the highlight of the visit. I simply couldn't believe how well-preserved they had been after being saved from Lake Nasser. There is original paint still visible, especially in the Buhen temple, which I admittedly shed a few tears at. I was lucky enough to be able to sit in the temple alone later on and soak up the beautiful walls and scenery whilst mulling over my thoughts. Absolutely stunning, and a truly atmospheric experience.

I choose to add this small museum to my Khartoum day tour, most museums are closed in Sudan on a Monday, Real Sudan made sure to help me plan my itinerary so I missed the Monday in Khartoum and hit the friday to watch the wrestling, This museum contains a small but fascinating collection of tribal artefacts from across Sudan. Displays are ordered by geographic region and illustrate how people adapt to each climatic area. It begins with the tropics of (what is now) South Sudan followed by the savannah regions south of Khartoum, finishing up with the deserts of the north.

Located at the confluence of the two Niles (the Blue the White), the Mogran is a home to gardens and greenery, as well as an amusement park.

One of the most significant sites in the world. Definitely worth visiting by boat. The meeting of the Blue and White Niles is visible and significant.

My favorite street in Khartoum. Ever green and coolish anytime of the year as it is directly by the Nile river. You pass by a few of the historical old buildings in Khartoum: ex the Presidential Palace, the Old Sudan-Hotel, University of Khartoum....etc. generally well-maintained and green. There are a few river-side coffee-shops, not trendy more on the traditional side, but pleasant.

You have a large grocery store, several money changers where you get better than hotel exchange rates (but you need to compare as there could be quite a bit of variance between money changers), barber shop, beauty salon, several mobile companies, several restaurants, many clothing stores, a pharmacy, several shoe stores, prayer rooms, a bowling alley, an arcade, stationary stores, electronic stores and many specialty stores. Everything you may need can be found at Afra Maqll. Next door to the 5 star Al Salam Rotana (a 2 3 minute walk).
